But I couldn't be bothered to map right now, as I guess I would like a fosm tile server. When we hear back from 80n about fosm timeline we can consider setting up au-nz tile server if needed ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I've only used FOSM with JOSM, I've found it a little slow in downloading data, but it does work for me. Although it doesn't seem to have the same 0.25 of a degree limit when downloading, so in rural areas it actually makes life easier. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Does FOSM really work?
I also tried to use Potlatch on http://fosm.org, but using Firefox on Kubuntu. I get a map OK, but I do not know where it is, and there is no obvious way of changing the location you are looking at. There is a "GPS" button that does not work, this might be the problem. Also there is no obvious way of uploading GPS traces, this also might be what the "GPS" button is for. I did not try editing as I did not want to risk damaging the mapping already done. Andrew. On 25 April 2011 06:09, Kevin Sheather wrote: > I have tried to use FOSM but with no success.

[talk-au] Does FOSM really work?
I have tried to use FOSM but with no success. I have opened an account and logged in but none of the links seem to work with the exception of the Attribution link that takes me back to an OSM Wiki page. The Potlatch link produces a mostly blank page with not a map in sight. Is it designed to operate on Windows Explorer 9?
